The Edgewater - Historic Madison Hotel with Lake Mendota Views, Spa, and Modern Midwest Dining

Located in downtown Madison steps away from the Capitol Square, this historic Art Moderne-style hotel sits directly on Lake Mendota. The Edgewater offers 200 guest rooms with spa showers across its Langdon Building and Wisconsin Building towers. Dining venues include The Statehouse restaurant featuring modern Midwestern cuisine, Augie's Tavern serving craft cocktails, The Boathouse offering lakeside dining, and The Market cafe. The Madison hotel features a full-service waterfront spa, two penthouses with panoramic views, and over 20000 square feet of event space including grand ballrooms. The property stands 6 miles from Dane County Regional airport and within walking distance to State Street, eclectic shops, and downtown institutions.

Pros

Located directly on Lake Mendota with waterfront dining venues and sweeping lake views

Art Moderne architectural design with historic Langdon Building and modern Wisconsin Tower

Multiple on-site dining options featuring modern Midwestern cuisine and local ingredients

Large Plaza space hosts year-round public events and activities

Cons

6 miles distance from Dane County Regional Airport requires transportation planning

Central downtown location means busy surrounding area during peak times and events

“A Madison landmark blending historic architecture with modern luxury on Lake Mendota, this hotel distinguishes itself with remarkable lake views and dedicated event spaces. I appreciate the multiple dining options with local cuisine and comprehensive wellness programs. While some may find a few details less polished, the location near downtown and the University of Wisconsin makes it a standout choice.”
